[Game End 2/13] Diamond Arc Crossing - Town Wins by Sorc Moment

I mean I’m hoping you do, and I know you have the capability to do it

It’s possible but atm you’re facing an uphill battle.
I wish you best of luck but as I said, I’m not doing the dives really, you’ve let me have a break there.
I’m here for defence mode.

Kiiruma iirc you said you’d prefer to bomb Gorta over me. What specific reasons do you have to townread me more?

You’re asking me specifics and I don’t have much when it comes to townreading you.
I just have more reasons when it comes to scumreading Gorta.

I feel like looking at NKA I can see Gorta fitting into the team better than you.

Gorta fits into the team also as a somewhat deepwolf who’s been able to go ‘derp I didn’t do my action’ which could even just be true (but if gorta is a wolf then their team would’ve done it anyway, meaning gorta gets some cred and let’s be honest, gorta had to say they didn’t do a N1 or we would’ve all turned to look at them)

Reads wise, it feels like Gorta has been trying to get Wind out over the other wolves including the day I got commuted away from the thread. Keeping in mind the fact that I had been defending Wind (partially due to the fact that I just wanted to be right and I wanted my invention to be in good hands)

Also the N3 no-kill feels like a tree. And Universal wasn’t that active whereas you were.

I don’t think it was considering Dum shot Uni and Uni also didn’t die, meaning someone protected them, meaning mafia had to activate someone

The one big thing I just thought from the commute is, perhaps the idea was for it to double kill me and Leetic (or the plan was to kill 1 of us at least)

At the time of going into D3 we were at 6v3(?)

If they planned on us just dying then they would’ve forced a LyLo that early.
And it had the added benefit of giving us just an echo chamber and one which made me paranoid.

Perhaps they tried to have it interpreted as that, but it wasn’t allowed because it might push game past LyLo? (Since the wagons were close, we almost lost Wind (and that could be reasonably foreseen as a possibility)) Or Geyde just interpreted as us seeming like we died and were just gone from thread just like in the SCP FM thing

Gorta claimed to have done ‘vests’
Furthermore, I don’t actually fully know if the gun was real or fake
As Wind used to argue against me before

Also… don’t forget that Wind claimed to Merc Dum iirc and you blocked someone else?
Any sort of protection done by town might explain a night kill too if it’s not just a tree’d kill.
It’s possible they’d do an article but forget a factional.

If Gorta/Uni/Shark is the team, then Gorta would potentially have to be lead and I mean…

I rbd myself, and I’m saying thats why I don’t think that N3 was a tree, I think they probably tried to attack Dum who was widely townread + had a gun

Fair enough.
I guess it’s a possibility, I can’t rule anything out.
But still we have Gorta who claimed their article was ‘vests’
And I don’t mean any offence to them but I could easily see them derping in the process of saving Uni and preventing any kills lmao

That would mean they’re town in that case, I don’t think a mafia ever writes an article about vests in the first place without targeting someone specifically, so if its a derp than they’re town bc it was an accident town can make.

Yeah but that would make Gorta town and you a wolf and then I don’t know if I see you doing the bomb thing (which still, IDK wtf to make of everything which happened there) as a wolf

Or I guess from your perspective it makes me a wolf.

But I don’t think you get it that I wouldn’t just be clearing Gorta here off that as a wolf since I’d know how it can come across.

I have to do some baking, but hopefully I can be here before the bomb goes off

not gonna collapse this just so you see it

Gorta ISO

so back to this thing here
Gorta spent the whole of D1 complaining that nobody was posting content
but instead of helping to create content or even saying that the people fluffing around in the thread were wolfy or whatever, he didn’t make a read and continued to complain, and ended the day without any reads except that he liked leetic trying to push the thread in a productive direction, then that shark and i also look slightly better for doing stuff (we mostly fluffed, i started doing stuff very late in the day, and shark continued to do nothing i guess)

my expectation for gorta is generally he wouldn’t complain about the lack of content, but that as a wolf he would probably try a bit harder to push the thread into doing things instead of continuing to complain repeatedly because he’d be more conscious of looking bad for doing exactly what he was complaining about

voting sleep is nonetheless a weird choice, but considering that basically everything on D1 was a vanity wagon or a self-pres, it’s not the worst

i didn’t have any idea what this was about at the time, and i still have no idea what this is about
fantastic

another complaint about lack of content

agrees with me that there might be a powerwolf
then says one of the fluffposters probably is a wolf
don’t think he really ever comes back to this but i’m still reading through

apparently because he thinks leetic is the only one pushing the game forward

wherever did this go

i think this is singlehandedly the worst vote on egg without even having to look at anything else
the posts i quoted above are gorta’s ENTIRE progression on voting egg
like i get that egg’s readlist felt fake because i thought the same
but that was it and then gorta was gone for the day
(i might want to recheck this though because i remember i specifically asked for his opinion on egg before egg was even a wagon, and then i did the same to eli, and both of them just went “yeah this can die” and egg died)
maybe D2 isn’t so great to go off, idk, i’ll see how everyone else’s D2 looks

this shit right here is bad
even if we assume he was activated N1 and N3, and not this night (N2), it still looks bad

for a good minute i was writing up a whole paragraph on this and about to say i found a contradiction because he claimed not to have written an article on N1 because he didn’t know he wasn’t told if activated
but then i realized “last one” meant “article last night” which was N2 and matches up with what he said about the article not giving any information
oh well, i thought i was onto something

ngl i wonder if this was true since rev protection was still active lol
ok enough sidetracking from me
i’m just trying to read the context of some of these posts so it’s taking a while because i’m expanding the posts in between the iso filtered posts

actually, one more post on this
shark isn’t questioning YBW’s bomb but he’s questioning Dum’s gun
interesting

i still haven’t figured out gorta’s logic for this
ignoring whether or not i think kiiruma is scum and whether or not i pushed leetic for this, why would mafia choose to commute out two townies, or is that like a standard assumption i’m just not understanding? just want some opinions here from those who weren’t commuted out since lol bias

mafia could commute two mafia out of the thread and obviously it would prevent both of them from getting voted that day
i will acknowledge that neither leetic nor kiiruma were on the verge of getting voted out during that day, even though there was surmounting pressure from me incorrectly reevaluating leetic’s slot and uni hard pushing them
kiiruma was still riding a mech clear from me so he wouldn’t have been considered as an elimination target on D3

maybe the logical conclusion really is that a mafia would commute out two town if they thought it put them closer to hammering majority, considering this is the day we chose to hammer (but on Shark so rip mafia)

you know what i’m just gonna start looking for spew from the wolves at the same time
i know shark really doesn’t have spew but uni does

and something from uni caught my attention while reading his response to gorta so i’m gonna get to that in a moment

gonna go through this bit by bit

I know for a fact that Wind/leetic was 2 town
YBW thrown in there is interesting and based on Uni’s push on leetic and secondarily me
Sharklifter was the mafia diet so lol

what i’m gaining from this is that Uni was already setting me up to be paired with Sharklifter, someone we know already flipped wolf
he was also setting Leetic up to be paired with Sharklifter, so similar treatment because we were both being vocal when we were in the thread
Uni is much more interested in my slot, notably, when leetic is not in the thread because of the commute

not sure why leetic and I are listed as interchangeable while YBW gets a separate entry for himself and Shark does as well
kinda weird since it implies Uni wants to push both leetic and me but see which one sticks better and push it

note that last part where Uni says he picked these names from their interactions with each other, but then says he didn’t ISO on Shark, a full ISO on me, or on YBW and yet he pairs Shark with me, pairs Shark with leetic, and pairs YBW with leetic and me

he isn’t pairing YBW with Shark and in fact says nothing about whether he thinks YBW makes sense with leetic and Shark as a team even though it clearly looks like he’s trying to imply they’re a plausible team

so if we break this down into the basic idea Uni is conveying, as a wolf (ignoring things that aren’t interaction-based):
YBW hard defending leetic
YBW pushing on me
Leetic agreeing with Shark
Leetic ignoring Shark
Shark agreeing with Wind
Wind not scumreading Shark

what does a wolf say about their partners in an effort to distance from them without bussing them? I would guess that’s the type of wolf Uni likes to be, because he completely avoided bussing Shark despite how incredibly bad it made him look. Probably also because Shark was the mafia diet and being a potato, but Uni didn’t come back to “change his mind” and hammer Shark; he kept insisting he wanted me dead instead. So Uni would rather keep his team intact than score individual towncred by bussing.

Uni also had a very aggressive push on me as well as leetic - two townies - which makes me suspect either he was only soft-pushing a partner or he was just not pushing them whatsoever

he didn’t mention Kiiruma, Gorta, Dum or Eli at all in this post. We know Dum and Eli were town and there was basically no way the wolves could’ve engineered a wagon on either of them at the time because it wasn’t deepwolf paranoia time yet.

I’m going to look for his Gorta and Kiiruma reads in a second but I want to come back to Gorta specifically on how Uni interacted with him on D3 since that’s what caught my attention.

first set here I know for a fact has been rule-of-three’d, probably unintentionally by Uni
second set here contains one scum guaranteed
third set contains two town guaranteed fmpov

i want to hazard a guess and say that even if Uni didn’t mean to rule-of-three the first group he listed, he probably would not have wanted to list a team that ever contained more than one of his teammates because there would be a guaranteed wolf in all three of these, and if town decided to buy the leetic/YBW/Shark team and YBW was a wolf, the entire team would be destroyed

wolves tend to pay more attention to where they list their scummates than where they list town members

also this proves that Uni never completely implied leetic and I were interchangeable since I got swapped out for YBW in the second list
he’s probably just swapping around villagers

so Uni is pushing a villager for a bad vote and increasingly bad plays (presumably more of my bad votes that coincide neatly with what his scum teammate is doing, so he knows it’s a valid reason to push me in case Shark ever flips)

distances from his teammate based on his interaction with the two strong villagers he’s trying to push (I haven’t been strong in this game, but i’ve been loud, so you get the point)
says his teammate is scummy for how he interacts around leetic/me
so really he isn’t pointing out anything scummy that Shark is doing

this probably implies that whoever the other wolf is, he’s avoiding pointing out actually scummy things because he doesn’t want anyone to catch on

so now we really know Uni would never pick on scummy things leetic did if they were partnered

too bad i didn’t know until now

this last quote was in reply to dum asking if uni is suggesting that hanging kiiruma would be better than leetic

basically what uni has to say on kiiruma is that somehow he never noticed the inventor claim, and then that he doesn’t think leetic encouraging activity is enough to make them towny

note that he’s trying to dismiss reasons to townread leetic here. let’s see if he does it to anyone else who’s currently alive now.

this is uni replying to reiterate, once again, that leetic is not town for encouraging activity

i think this next sequence is earlier in the thread cause i jumped to a quote that caught my attention:

i’m gonna stop here for a second
look at that “what are you talking about?” from Uni to YBW
that’s not how scum addresses other scum
and in the first place, the way YBW is asking Uni if he ever refuted the post YBW made, that’s also not something I see scum doing because it puts a large amount of pressure on their partner, and not only does their partner need to be confident enough to pull it off as theatre, but the one doing the pressuring has to keep it up and not just drop the pressure halfway through.

so we know this:

  • Uni is performative as scum
  • Uni OMGUSes as scum
  • Uni will discredit ways to townread a townie as scum
  • Uni will distance from his partner by tying his partner to a townie, but not by pointing out scummy things his partner has done

Summary so far: Uni is very reactive and performative, but avoids bussing at all costs

YBW is clear as far as I can see from this

I like how I started with a Gorta ISO and dove into full spew analysis on Uni from D3

I’m gonna take a quick break and continue this
I have about 1.5 h if I want to be safe
realistically closer to 2 h but I don’t want to miss the deadline

I’m gonna continue ISOing Uni from where I left off and then also read all of his interactions and his voting patterns

I do want to see if Uni ever votes YBW, I don’t think he does, but I don’t think Uni votes anyone besides leetic and me anyway so he probably outright avoided voting most people

but if you don’t think Gorta’s generic-as-fuck “vests” stopped all of the kills that night, what did?

everyone else claimed their actions and I know my merc shield on Dum wasn’t activated because I was activated last night instead.

it’s almost 100% mech-clearing for Gorta except that the vests didn’t have his name printed on them lmao
